Don in the Press/Blogs/etc.

It is typical of the Eagles that they probably haven't allowed their induction to be used.

Not to be an absolute jerk here, but that's part of the reason I so adore them...

Rockin' avatar Freypower - great shot of him!

I think Don inducted Jackson Browne so that's probably what it is

Apparently Don gave a speech at the 1991 ceremony & joined in with the Byrds, Jackson & other stars for a jam session.

Ah! I didn't know all of that. I guess that's what they could be talking about... but if so, it's very misleading. Imagine if you were a hardcore Henely fan who bought that just to see him perform, only to be treated to one song where he's drumming in the background for a jam session. Not cool.

[GlennLover]

You're right, Soda. But at least he wasn't in back playing the drums. He played the tambourine.

Love that pic!

[DonFan]

Is it just me, or is that is the longest suit coat you have ever seen? The whole suit looks too big for him.

[sodascouts]

You're absolutely right. Maybe Don was trying to set a new trend in oversized clothing?

[DonFan]

Sometimes the man is just SO fashion-challenged.

A brief snippet from a Don Henley fan (includes pic):

Have you seen a recent Don Henley pic? This picture of the American rock singer was taken after he was spotted performing with the band Eagles not so long ago. His song rendition seems to be so powerful that surely delighted the crowd.


Some of his best known works with the band include “One of These Nights”, “Sad Café” and “Witchy Woman.” When the band broke up on 1980 due to increasing personal tensions, Henley pursued solo career.


As a solo artist, he has released four successful albums and has won seven Grammy Awards in his career. More so, he was ranked 87th Greatest Singer as declared by Rolling Stone.

OK, nothing new here, but I thought it was a nice mention.

Another Don mention. This article is about the Beatles, but includes Don's comments:

The Eagles’ Don Henley is equally enthusiastic about the impact the four Beatles — Paul McCartney, 67; Ringo Starr, 69; and the now-deceased George Harrison and John Lennon — had on pop music and culture here, there and everywhere.

“The wonderful thing about The Beatles is that they went on this journey and took all of us with them,” Henley, 62, said. “Of course, that was a different time and place. Things aren’t like that now. As a culture, we’re sort of in the twilight.”
